I agree with John...

The K30 bodies are a steal at the moment and the upgrade is moumentous...

I do think John is being a little hopeful in his esimate of what you could realistically expect for the sale of your *ist & K10... I'd think you'd be looking at £300 topside for the 2 bodies you have...

Still that almost pays for one K30...

(I assumed you would want to keep your current lens line-ups and are only interested in upgrading the bodies themselves...)

I'm thinking SRS must be pretty busy at the moment...
I had a postage issue today but a call made and assurance given that it was a simple oversight and a refund is on the way...

Being a customer from another county (and they really should up-sticks to Leeds) I can't fault their phone manner... Everyone I've spoken too at SRS is uber-polite and gets you the info you need quickly...

I'd leave it in mate... Good shot that shows both an explosion and the the event... Like it...

If I had the cash I'd jump on that in a heartbeat!!

It'd even be worth the petrol to 'that London'!!!

I rang up to see if they had a used one but none in stock... Their new ones luckily are cheaper than anywhere else I could find so jumped on it...

I never used my previous kit-lens (non-WR) once I got the Tamron-17-50 and then started using primes but with all the rain at the moment I'm not using my K5 as much as I'd like...

I'd say yes...
AF is improved... Better IQ... Increase in resolution... Dual control wheels... RAW/FX (customizable) button... And Weather Resistant (I know you said 'apart from' but it is a biggie imo)

Thanks all!

Just ordered 18-55WR through SRS (excellent customer service might I add) for £89! (nearly £100 cheaper than WEX)... So for the time being I'll keep the FA28 and FA50...

If I manage to get my mits on a DA21mm Ltd or FA*24mm then the they'll both go for the DA*55 but till then I'm reasonably happy and again have something wider than 28mm

Again... Really impressed by the service (and the very competitive pricing) at SRS who have assured me that the postage (£7.99 in this case) will not be added...

Does the K30 have AF adjust? back/front focus issues could be the make or brake of a wedding photographer...

I'd agree that 2 fast zooms (as suggested by Cabstar) on 2 identical bodies would be most appropriate... SDM also has the benefit of silent focusing.

Hi Jon... As they got you the gig and already have a relationship with them, I'd have a word with the agency and see what they recommend...

Not knowing what the product is could be problematic... I'd chase that up too... Again the agency should be able to clarify...

Good luck - Sound exciting!

Aye... I found that using primes has improved the composition of my photos... They make me move rather than just twist the lens barrel...
IQ is generally (not always) very good with prime lenses too

I have a couple of zooms but rarely use them... My most used is the 50-200 WR but I find the IQ lacking in comparison to my noraml 4 lens set-up... I only use it if I'm going out in the rain. It is my WR lens.

FA28 is pretty much my widest lens right now (I have the Vivitar19mm but rarely use it) but I tend to use the FA35 and D-FA100 macro most, closely followed by the FA50 for most of my shooting...

I find fifty a little 'tight' indoors unless I'm specifically doing portrait stuff... Outside it's much more usable...

28 I find a little wide for a 'normal' lens so the 35 get most of the use... It's great for landscape but that's all I really use it for...
